Stumbled across this in an article about how to trade players with the worst NBA contracts.

Didn’t realize this:

quote:

The best thing to say about Blake Griffin's deal is that it's down to its final two seasons. Technically, his 2021-22 salary is a $39 million player option, but if you've ever watched the now-ground-bound version of Griffin, you know he isn't leaving that kind of coin on the table.

After hammering down 38 dunks in the 2018-19 season, he has just five in the past two combined—and not a single slam comes from the current campaign. That helps explain how the career 49.6 percent shooter has connected on just 35.7 percent of his shots since the start of 2019-20.

How does a guy go from this:



to not even dunking once?

I feel bad for the players who lose their athleticism.

Yeah, he just stands around the perimeter and launches 3’s at this point. He can’t really do much inside bc he never developed a good post up game

So is he a ginger or an African American, or a sweet mixture of both?

And I feel bad for his older brother Taylor who is balding and didn’t make it in the league.

Wasn't he linked to a Kardashian/Jenner a few years ago? That's what happened.

He’s completely finished, sad because he was one of the most exciting players to watch. Actually mentioned in the NBA thread about how far he’s fallen.

I always thought dunking was hard on the body and these big guys can only slam on their knees so many times.

He's basically become a 6'8 SG spot up shooter.

I kind of lost track of him after he went to the Pistons but that is shocking
